Transcribed Image Text:The following are chemical nomenclature options presented as part of an educational exercise to identify different aromatic compounds:
A) fluorobenzene
B) o-fluorotoluene
C) m-fluorotoluene
D) p-fluorotoluene
E) 4-fluorotoluene
These terms refer to the following:
- **Fluorobenzene (A)**: A benzene ring with one fluorine atom attached.
- **O-fluorotoluene (B)**: Ortho-fluorotoluene, where the fluorine atom and methyl group are adjacent (1,2-positions) on the benzene ring.
- **M-fluorotoluene (C)**: Meta-fluorotoluene, where the fluorine atom and methyl group are separated by one carbon (1,3-positions) on the benzene ring.
- **P-fluorotoluene (D)**: Para-fluorotoluene, where the fluorine atom and methyl group are opposite each other (1,4-positions) on the benzene ring.
- **4-fluorotoluene (E)**: Synonymous with p-fluorotoluene; indicates the fluorine atom is in the para position relative to the methyl group on the benzene ring.
This is a multiple-choice question to test the student's ability to distinguish between different substitution patterns on aromatic compounds.

**Explanation of the Diagram:**
The diagram shown depicts a chemical structure. Here are the details:
- The base structure is a benzene ring, which is represented as a hexagon with alternating double bonds between carbon atoms.
- There is a single substituent attached to the benzene ring.
- The substituent is a fluorine atom, denoted by the "F" symbol, attached to one of the carbon atoms in the ring.
**Answer:**
The compound shown in the diagram is **Fluorobenzene**. This name reflects the benzene ring with a fluorine substituent.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F55a44e3d-6d6a-4ecd-9343-ab7bc7f808c7%2Fdc348a2a-0410-4f13-8428-0570fbaf628a%2F9aiujjg_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
